These days just not going pretty well for the music industry, No, I don’t mean that no one’s listening to music anymore but one or the other is in legal battle with some one or the other. In some cases, it is getting rough and in quite a few, it’s damn rough, as in the case of former Beatles Paul and his former wife Heather Mills. Oh, man, I wanted to paste his recent photograph here but I just couldn’t. He is in bad shape; looks to me might have lost another 5-10 pounds.
Beatles legend Sir Paul McCartney has reportedly told his estranged wife Heather Mills that she will make nothing from their impending divorce, as he didn’t earn any money during their four year marriage. And following that Sir Paul McCartney removed 10 million pounds worth of masterpieces from a lodge being used by her. However, the real object of Mills’ ire is reportedly Macca’s daughter Stella, whom she believes is the one who put the singer up to the ‘raid’. By doing this, Sir Paul is clearly suggesting that she could end up with nothing if the divorce goes to court. In essence, Sir Paul is showing her how bad it could be for her. Oh dear, humiliation is the worst aspect that we can see coming out of this pending divorce case.
Another legal ‘funny’ drama has taken a bad shape when the Grammy winner Mariah Carey entered with the petition against the US patent and trademark office to prevent porn celebrity
Mary Carey from trade marking her name, saying that their identical surnames would confuse fans. Mary Carey, whose real name is Mary Cook, thinks that Mariah is crazy to have, made the appeal and is equally irritated by the fact that her customers could mistake her products for Mariah’s. Oh, God I am already confused, they both look, dress and talk the same way.
I think Mariah Carey, Yeh, the Grammy winner, is right some of Mariah’s stage costumes are enough to get her confused with Mary Cary, yeh, the porn star even without the similar-sounding name. OK, finally I get them right.
There’s one more in the legal battle US rock band the Eagles founded in the early 1970s and inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1998, has sued a South Korean insurance company for allegedly using its hit song “Desperado” in a television commercial without approval. Hey, even I didn’t ask them before writing about them. Hope they won’t sue me. Advertising agent, had negotiated with the US band and thought the deal was closed, but then what went wrong...I believe either a misunderstanding or miscommunication between the two sides.
However, the Eagles have a devoted following in Asia. Many of the continent’s musicians still insist on including “Hotel California” in their repertoire, 29 years after the hit single was released.
